At Steampunk, we live our best “punklife” together! So, what do we mean by that…?

#punklife represents our progressive and impactful employee-driven culture – a change-agent mentality that is shaped every day by our four core values: people @ the core, thrive being uncomfortable, set the pace, and empower your community. We challenge conventionalism to not only drive our growth as a company and as individual employees, but also to ensure we help our clients develop, flourish, and exceed their missions.

We are an employee-owned company with a startup mindset and time-tested approaches tailored for the federal government, we’re passionate about creating solutions that are impactful, practical, scalable, and most importantly, that meet our clients’ ever-changing needs.

At Steampunk, we positively disrupt the ecosystem of government contractors, while repurposing tried-and-true methodologies. We empower our people to find creative solutions to intractable problems.

While good design makes for a good product, human-centered design makes for an excellent one. Effective teams are powered by diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. To that end, Steampunk is committed to promoting diversity of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, and national origin amongst our ranks.

Our people are the very core of what we do; their expertise and hunger for new and exciting challenges fuels our relentless pursuit of mission success. As part of our team of “punks,” you’ll test the status quo, explore new boundaries, and set new, high bars for how government clients expect to engage with contractors. And, because we value our employees’ work/life balance (those who work hard deserve to play hard), you’ll have fun along the way!

BUT DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT — HEAR FROM OUR EMPLOYEES!

Meet the people who relentlessly rally for our customers, communities, and each other.

What does Steampunk mean to you?

Steampunk is the fusion of people and technology. It’s inserting people back into the technology equation.

Why do Steampunk’s values resonate with you?

People @ the Core
For me, people refer to our team – an amazing group of inspiring minds coming together to solve our customer’s greatest challenges. Our competitive advantage is our people.

Thrive Being Uncomfortable
To be the best version of yourself, you need to be willing to be uncomfortable – to step outside your comfort zone and take a chance. Do what makes you uncomfortable until you have become a skilled Ninja. You won’t learn from doing the same things over and over again – you have to push yourself further to achieve something greater. Doing this is uncomfortable – at first.

Set the Pace
Steampunk is not competing against other companies in the government contracting sector, we are blazing a new trail. Design, Disrupt, Repeat.

Tell us what you think about our new Steampunk Brand.

The brand name was unexpected but it grew on me very fast. The human component is often missed within the ever-expanding high-tech world we live. Moreover, as a mother of two small children one of which is just beginning his academic career, I appreciate the link to Steam (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) as a tangible connection to our core values. This connection opens exciting avenues for Steampunk to empower our communities through partnerships with schools, students, and educational programs. And who doesn’t love calling all your coworkers “punks?”

Does #punklife or living the #punklife mean to you?

To me, #punklife is showing up and giving it all you’ve got every. single. day. Being unapologetic for your drive and ambition. Causing a little disruption for the greater good. Challenging the status quo – not accepting the “Because we’ve always done it that way” response. Being the best version of yourself every day for your team, your customer, and yourself.

What’s the best thing about working at Steampunk?

Steampunk is an amazing group of people -across the board. From the delivery teams on the ground providing exceptional value and expertise to our customers to the Program Managers and Leadership Team who are always willing to jump in, lend a hand, and make it happen. I value our culture and the willingness to share knowledge and teach. I learn something new every day, either from my team, our leadership or our customer. It’s an amazing experience to be mentally stimulated every day and go home knowing you made a difference for your customer and your team.

Why should someone join Steampunk?

Steampunk is a revolution. If you want to be a part of something greater than yourself. To bring challenging and disruptive concepts and ideas to the table, focusing on the people first, then the technology, thinking outside whatever box others tell you to exist. Steampunk is your company. It’s our company.

What does Steampunk mean to you?

Part machine and part human, which is ironically exactly what we are trying to portray with our company name. It’s the integration of human intelligence powered by technology, and I think it’s very fitting.

Why do Steampunk’s values resonate with you?

People @ the Core
I have worked in government consulting for over 20 years and I have always believed that people are the most valuable, if not the only, assets of contracting companies. The way a company treats and cares for its employees must be at the top of their priority in order to keep their assets happy. Steampunk does exactly this and they value their people and this means everything to me.

Thrive Being Uncomfortable
Being uncomfortable is really just thinking outside the box, doing things outside of the norm, and pushing the limits on your own abilities. I pride myself on being different, challenging the norm, and asking questions that are not generally popular and therefore, this core value is important to me.

Set the Pace
Being the leader and not the follower is setting the pace. Our customers may not always be ready or think that they are ready for change. Setting the pace is guiding them to the change and proving why the change is necessary and how it will benefit them. This is where “thrive being uncomfortable” comes in play.

Empower Your Community
Giving back to our community in the way of sponsorship, contribution, and volunteering. Steampunk is always ready to contribute to our community and support various local charitable organizations.

Tell us what you think about our new Steampunk Brand.

I absolutely love the brand, logo, colors, fonts and more importantly the overall culture that represents our brand.

Does #punklife or living the #punklife mean to you?

To quote one of my colleagues at SteamPunk, “#punklife is the equivalent of work and life balance.” To me, it means that I can support my customer while maintaining the flexibility to be available to my family at all times of the day and I enjoy both.

What’s the best thing about working at Steampunk?

The people!!! From the project members all the way to executive leadership, Steampunk has some of the best professionals in the field.

Why should someone join Steampunk?

We have the best culture in the industry and the employee-centric mentality really makes me feel like a member of the SteamPunk family.

What does Steampunk mean to you?

Steampunk is a sci-fi genre that embraces old-timey engineering styles and concepts into a modern world.

Why do Steampunk’s values resonate with you?

People @ the Core
This one is easy, business is made up of people at their core. Sometimes we forget that and get caught up in the minutia of work, however, we must value each other as employees to stay grounded and to continue to grow effectively. We also put people at the core of our business process. We have the clients come into the studio and do a comprehensive analysis of their situations and business needs to design a solution for them.

Thrive Being Uncomfortable
To me, we have to challenge ourselves in order to learn and grow as employees/ a company. This value resonates with me because if you want to work in the tech realm you need to constantly learn new languages, new info from the latest releases, new functions/design patterns things to improve code quality, etc. Thriving while uncomfortable just makes you a better employee at a tech company.

Set The Pace
Ask any marathoner or triathlete and they will tell you how hard it is to finish a race if you set your pace too high. Conversely, you’ll never win if your pace is too slow. Setting the pace to me means finding a flow rate that puts you in the best position to make it on the podium. You may be uncomfortable at first but that’s when you adapt to thrive at that pace and push yourself harder.

Empower Your Community
A wise man once said to me “Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not” those words resonated with me. I think I have gotten pretty lucky in my life to stumble upon some great opportunities. I think it’s important to empower your community by giving others the opportunity to replicate your success.

Tell us what you think about our new Steampunk Brand.

I think the steampunk brand is cool. Its fun is representative of the slogan “design.disrupt.repeat” in not only do we look different in our logo and we are different. We actively try to ‘disrupt’ the status quo and stand out as a unique force in the space we operate.

What does #punklife or living the punklife mean to you?

Punklife to me means that you are someone who behaves in such a way that is fearlessly yourself. You completely disregard others’ notions of what should be and societal norms and are almost afraid to conform to them. In the sea of sameness, we aim to stand out and actually be different because its who we are.

What’s the best thing about working at Steampunk?

I really enjoy my team. The salesforce team is currently small but growing and each member of the team possesses a unique skillset and approach to solutions. The communication is very open and all ideas are encouraged to be voiced.

Why should someone join Steampunk?

if you’re tired of the same old cookie-cutter salesforce consulting and want to join a company that isn’t afraid to do things differently this is a great opportunity for you.
